GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1: Leafs Vs Bolts; May 2nd. 7:30 p.m. EST

[Coachcorner]

Keep laying the body on their skill guys. Kucherov has a temper and he’ll do crazy things when harassed. Keep hitting their D on puck retrievals. Every hit is an investment. Mikheyev has been a demon out there.

I FREAKIN LOVED THE CLIFFORD HIT ON COLTON SIRE! THat's the way to take out theeir cherries! They trying ta take out ours in the future, so now WE SHOWED GON BE ON THE CAPTAIN SEAT. Clifford PENALTY and CHECK was the = KEY TO WIN THIS GAME. WE HAD THE BETTER CHANCES AND GOT IT GOING. Our young fools saw that clifford is FINNA KILL LIKE PROBERT. That's hockey, ain't nuthing changed since the gladiatiors and ben-hur sire.

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

You can take your anger out on me.

I'm humiliated.

That was a 2 min boarding penalty at best. I want to see cliffy again this series

 

[mcleex]

The 'number 43' curse continues

 

[fahad203]

It's a shame Clifford threw that hit. We actually need clean versions of those which he can provide. But if we can't trust him he can't play

I'll still dress him for next game. That intent and engery is what we need. That was a not a game mis conduct

 

[Zur En Arrh]

If this team plays like that for 90 percent of each game they will win the cup.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

You can take your anger out on me.

I'm humiliated.

your fine clifford rattled the whole lightning team in 30 seconds.

 

[Nylander88]

It's a shame Clifford threw that hit. We actually need clean versions of those which he can provide. But if we can't trust him he can't play

Lesson learned. He'll be back and he'll pick his spots better

 

[Teeder Keon]

That was hands down one of the best period Leafs have played in the playoffs I've ever seen

What are you 10 ??
No just kidding Brotha
It’s been a long long time since we played a playoff period like that
And this crowd
Who kidnapped our usual crowd ?

Yead dude was thinking the same thing. The crowd energy on that hit is exactly what we needed. But we need clean versions.

Leafs are snakebit when it comes to toughness

 

[keonsbitterness]

You can take your anger out on me.

I'm humiliated.

Have a Snickers.

 

[Seras]

I'll still dress him for next game. That intent and engery is what we need. That was a not a game mis conduct

He will be well rested!

 

[123offtheglass]

xGF% on the 7min of PK against a 'hot' PP is above 50%

 

[The Masters]

the clifford hit turned the game around

leafs responded with massive intensity

blessing in disguise

 

[MSZ]

Just dress Spezza next game, Clifford can wait for his next chance.

 

[Burnie97]

Well for anyone worrying about Spezza not being in that probably just changed a lot that period.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Outside of the boarding penalty a real strong 1st period for the Leafs,

Really have their skating legs and good intensity to their game.

Not bad for a bubble team.

 

[Macallan18]

Ok drinking Ardbeg Perpetuum, impossible to obtain anymore
Go leafs go

 

[OVO16]

Im praying Clifford doesn't get benched for this.

The energy he brought is exactly what we needed

Toronto hasn't truly been ready to " stand witness" until now.

 

[Coachcorner]

Honestly, that was the best 5 minute penalty kill I've ever seen in my f***ing life

With the PAT QUINN DAYS. Some PAT BURNS. I agree sire HARD. Still smokin the cigar, WHAT!!

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Cliffords hit was late and warranted a penalty. A 5 minute major though? That was total bullshit. You don’t make that call in the playoffs.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'll still dress him for next game. That intent and engery is what we need. That was a not a game mis conduct

I'm his biggest fan girl but like .. man.

Such a dumb play. I'm crushed.

 

[OVO16]

Just dress Spezza next game, Clifford can wait for his next chance.

Id rather dress clifford again

 

[Mess]

Leafs stole the momentum from their own 5 minute major and looked more dangerous 4-5 then TB did.
